But, regardless of the design, live Custom Furniture in San Diego can create a fantastic experience in your house - it does more than brighten up space; it makes it seem alive.

You might utilize live edge furniture outside for the same reasons you would use it inside your home. For instance, maybe you want to add some character to your patio or improve the ambiance in your garden. They have a natural aesthetic that appeals to anybody looking to enhance their outdoor decor. Not all live edge wood, however, may be kept outside unprotected.

Choose one of these species from the list below when looking for a live edge slab for your outdoor living space. 

While it depends on where you live and how much exposure the slab gets, you can consider these four wood types that can be used outside.

1. Redwood

Redwood trees are among the world's most enormous young trees, and they grow only in this small swath of coastline, stretching from the southwestern corner of Oregon to Big Sur, California, 150 miles south. Due to their inherent resistance to dampness, rot, and insects, they are sometimes the preferred species for outdoor furniture. However, the tight, consistent straight grain of redwood live edge slabs makes penetration difficult.

Its heartwood is pale pinkish-brown to deep reddish-brown in hue. Straight grain is more probable; however, figured pieces may look wavy or curly. If you are looking for a redwood Custom Table in San Diego, visit Kristopher's website to learn more about designs.

2. Claro Walnut

Claro walnut, sometimes known as California Black walnut, is a kind of live edge wood related to black walnut. Claro walnut wood varies in color from light brown to chocolate brown, and it is vulnerable to pest infestations like other forms of black walnut wood.

On the other hand, this sort of wood is highly robust and resistant to rot and thus can be used outdoors but need to protect from extreme sunlight as it can fade the color. This wood is just somewhat more expensive than black walnut slab wood.

3. Bastogne Walnut

This walnut wood is the result of cross-pollination between claro and English walnuts. This type of wood develops quicker and generates much stronger timber than its parent trees. However, the number and quality of walnuts produced differ from those produced by its parent trees.

You can find these trees all around California. Their wood varies in color from light golden brown to reddish-brown and grows roughly 30m high and 1-1.5m thick. Moreover, you cannot keep the custom furniture made out of this wood in direct sun, but yes, it can be kept in the shade in your garden area.

4. Maple Wood

Maple wood is solid, looks great, and stains nicely. Woodworkers and furniture aficionados gravitate towards maple for its light, creamy color, smooth grain pattern, and impressive durability. Although there are dozens of maple trees around the globe, the species most common among American woodworkers is Hard Maple.

Sugar maple trees grow abundantly in Vermont and throughout the Northern US and Canada and are also the source of maple sap, the sole ingredient in pure maple syrup.
